Time Revisited chronicles the life of a spirited and determined woman as she travels through all the ups and downs of life. Her first memory, from about the age of three, is of sitting at the kitchen table watching her family pack their things to move from their farm to their new home in Ashville, Pennsylvania. It seemed destined] that her childhood would be one of constant moves after her father's death, following a trail of her mother's business ventures.

Most of her mother's business attempts failed, and the sheriff often was on their trail. Despite adversity and obstacles, Dorothy Jane Staples grew up, modeled, developed a business career of her own, married, had a family, and led a successful display business in Philadelphia. Now retired, she continues to live a full and enjoyable life.

Time Revisited, four years in the making, shares her memories of both difficult and happy times with humor and candor, providing a legacy for current and future generations of her family.
